Skaar, Elisabeth; Øksnes, Anja; Eide, Leslie SP; Norekvål, Tone Merete; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Forman, Daniel Edward; Schoennberger, Andreas W.; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Kuiper, Karel Kier-Jan; Bleie, Øyvind; Packer, Erik; Langørgen, Jørund; Haaverstad, Rune; Schaufel, Margrethe Aase (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims The objective of this study was to examine baseline frailty status (including cognitive deficits) and important clinical outcomes, to inform shared decision-making in older adults receiving transcatheter aortic valve ... -
Capillary leakage in post-cardiac arrest survivors during therapeutic hypothermia - a prospective, randomised study
Heradstveit, Bård E.; Guttormsen, Anne Berit; Langørgen, Jørund; Hammersborg, Stig-Morten; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Fanebust, Rune; Larsson, Elna-Marie; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-25)Background: Fluids are often given liberally after the return of spontaneous circulation. However, the optimal fluid regimen in survivors of cardiac arrest is unknown. Recent studies indicate an increased fluid requirement ... -
Cardiac arrest as a reportable condition: A cohort study of the first 6 years of the Norwegian out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry
Tjelmeland Myrhaugen, Ingvild Beathe; Alm-Kruse, Kristin; Andersson, Lars-Jøran; Bratland, Ståle; Hafstad, Arne Ketil; Haug, Bjørn; Langørgen, Jørund; Larsen, Alf Inge; Lindner, Thomas Werner; Nilsen, Jan Erik; Olasveengen, Theresa Mariero; Søreide, Eldar; Skogvoll, Eirik; Kramer-Johansen, Jo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives The Norwegian Cardiac Arrest Registry (NorCAR) was established in 2013 when cardiac arrest became a mandatory reportable condition. The aim of this cohort study is to describe how the world’s first mandatory, ... -
Cardiac Troponin Assays With Improved Analytical Quality: A Trade-Off Between Enhanced Diagnostic Performance and Reduced Long-Term Prognostic Value
Tjora, Hilde Lunde; Steiro, Ole-Thomas; Langørgen, Jørund; Bjørneklett, Rune; Nygård, Ottar; Skadberg, Øyvind; Bonarjee, Vernon; Collinson, Paul; Omland, Torbjørn; Vikenes, Kjell; Aakre, Kristin Moberg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Cardiac troponin (cTn) permits early rule‐out/rule‐in of patients admitted with possible non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. In this study, we developed an admission and a 0/1 hour rule‐out/rule‐in ... -
Cognitive function and health-related quality of life four years after cardiac arrest
Buanes, Eirik Alnes; Gramstad, Arne; Søvig, Karoline Kjellsdotter; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Flaatten, Hans; Husby, Thomas; Langørgen, Jørund; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Aim: Neuropsychological testing has uncovered cognitive impairment in cardiac arrest survivors with good neurologic outcome according to the cerebral performance categories. We investigated cognitive function and health-related ... -
Factors predicting the use of therapeutic hypothermia and survival in unconscious out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted to the ICU
Lindner, Thomas Werner; Langørgen, Jørund; Sunde, Kjetil; Larsen, Alf Inge; Kvaløy, Jan Terje; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth; Drægni, Tomas; Søreide, Eldar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-23)Introduction: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) was adopted early in Norway. Since 2004 the general recommendation has been to cool all unconscious OHCA patients treated in the intensive ... -
Hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction – trends in case fatality, and the impact of changing definition on number of events, subtypes and mortality
Langørgen, Jørund (Doctoral thesis, 2014-09-24)Background: Few studies of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among hospitalized patients have had direct estimates of long-term case fatality after AMI, and the literature is conflicting regarding gender-related prognosis ... -
A novel Geriatric Assessment frailty score predicts two-year mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve implantation
Skaar, Elisabeth; Eide, Leslie Sofia Pareja; Norekvål, Tone M.; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Forman, Daniel E.; Schönenberger, Anders; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Kuiper, Karel Kier-Jan; Bleie, Øyvind; Haaverstad, Rune; Schaufel, Margrethe Aase; Packer, Erik Jerome Stene; Langørgen, Jørund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-31)Aims Established surgical scores have limitations in delineating risk among candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Assessment of frailty might help to estimate the mortality risk and identify patients ... -
